A little earlier.

Jinyu Alley in the capital, once the Ten Princes' Palace, is now the Xinwang Palace.

Zhu Youjian felt restless and restless after breakfast, pacing back and forth in his study.

He understood that today was the most critical moment in his life.

Today's success or failure will determine his glorious life in the next few decades, and determine whether the Ming Dynasty can still have a great revival.

News came from the palace.

The emperor's brother Zhu Youxiao has followed everyone to Xiyuan and will soon take a boat trip to Taiye Pool.

The treasure ship had already taken action.

When the boat reaches the deepest part of the lake, the fuel can be drained from the bottom of the cauldron, causing water to leak from the bottom of the boat and capsize the ship.

By then, my brother who can’t swim will...

The more Zhu Youxiao thought about it, the more excited he became. He kept pacing in the room, wondering why time was so slow today.

He didn't know when news would come from the outside.

The sad news came that my brother had passed away.

Squeak button!

Just as Zhu Youxiao was pacing anxiously, the door rang.

He was startled, thinking that news would come so soon, so he turned around hurriedly.

But it was Princess Xin, Zhou Shi, who walked in.

Zhou's full name is Zhou Yingying. She is a native of Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture. Her ancestral home is Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. She is the daughter of Zhou Kui, a rogue.

Although Kui's family moved to Beijing this week when he was young, he was extremely stubborn and his family fell into decline.

He first studied medicine, but his medical skills were not good enough and he died and lost a lot of money.

Then he turned to study the science of Kanyu astrology and made a living by choosing Feng Shui yin houses for people.

Who would have thought that maybe his ancestors showed up, or maybe he really learned something.

As time passed, her daughter Zhou Yingying was chosen as Princess Xin, and he also became the deputy commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division.

But this daughter Zhou Yingying is completely different from her father.

She was beautiful and had a gentle personality. Once she married into Prince Xin's palace and became Zhu Youjian's wife, she became more and more loved by Zhu Youjian.

Seeing that it was the princess coming, Zhu Youjian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh! Madam, why are you here? You're so frightened."

Zhu Youjian took a step forward, grabbed Zhou Yingying's hand, and spoke kindly.

The difference between him and his elder brother is that he really loves his first wife, and the two of them talk about everything.

Even his own rebellion plots were informed to his wife one by one after she married into the palace, and his wife Zhou fully supported them.

After Zhu Youjian pulled Zhou into the study, he hugged her and greedily smelled the fragrance of his wife's hair.

"Madam, Gu... Gu is really nervous right now. Don't leave. How about waiting with Gu."

"When news comes from outside, the stone in Gu's heart will finally fall to the ground..."

As he said this, Zhu Youjian actually turned his head and wanted to kiss Zhou's pretty face.

Who knows!

However, Mrs. Zhou also turned her head, with a half-smile expression on her face.

"Zhu Youjian, what are you... afraid of?"

She has a beautiful face and a small mouth as red as a cherry, but her voice is low and dull, like gold and stone rubbing against each other.

boom!

Zhu Youjian's head was about to explode.

He suddenly let go of his wife in his arms and backed away in fright.

"You are not Gu's wife, you are... you are..."

Zhu Youjian almost died of fright.

The Zhou in front of me is not my daughter-in-law at all, but the one I met outside Tianshou Mountain last year...

"Owner!"

Zhu Youjian's knees softened and he knelt down, trembling all over.

At the same time, I cursed angrily in my heart.

I'm sorry about your mother!

It's not good for your special mother to look like someone else. She actually looks like Princess Zhou. Do you really want to scare me to death?

Fortunately, I can only kiss you on the cheek. If I drag you to the bed and take off your clothes, and you still remain silent...

The consequences could be disastrous.

I will be like my elder brother in this life, unable to give birth to any children.

In fact, I don’t blame Zhu Youjian for not recognizing him.

[First Generation], that is, this silicon-based life form.

For more than a year, I have been lurking in Prince Xin's Mansion, reading a lot of ancient books from the Dragon Kingdom and modern people's writings.

In less than a year, I read the "Yongle Dadian", "Qunshu Zhiyao", and the general history documents of various dynasties and dynasties, and I have a good understanding of the entire Chinese civilization.

It looks more and more like a human being, both in talking and walking.

At the same time, I also have a hobby of transforming into different people, changing according to my heart.

This time he became the Zhou family, which really scared Zhu Youjian.

But it still tilted its head and asked the same question.

"Zhu Youjian, what are you afraid of?"

Zhu Youjian couldn't help being horrified anymore and knocked his head to the ground.

"I... No, I am afraid when I return to the master. I am afraid that the incident in Xiyuan will happen. If the emperor's brother is not dead, I will be captured by the Jinyi guards on the spot. Then the whole family will be executed immediately..."

He told the truth and never dared to play tricks in front of the other party.

"Ha ha……"

The first generation laughed and stood in front of Zhu Youjian.

"Don't be afraid. The chance of success is infinitely close to 99,99%. You can become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty tomorrow..."

"Master, this is true!"

Zhu Youjian raised his head ecstatically when he heard this.

With such a mysterious immortal like the other party sure, how could something go wrong in this matter.

Although he doesn't understand what probability is and what 99.99% is.

Even the origin of the other party is not clear.

But Zhu Youjian knew.

This person is an existence that he absolutely cannot offend.

The first generation did not answer Zhu Youjian's words, but asked about another thing.

It squatted down, held Zhu Youjian's chin with one hand, and raised it slightly.

The pretty face has a sinister look on it.

"By the way, how did I hear..."

"You ordered someone to kill Li Xin yesterday? Is this possible?"

Zhu Youjian looked at the other party's solemn appearance, and his whole body trembled more and more violently.

"no no……"

He only said one word, and when he saw its eyes, he no longer dared to lie and shouted in a hissing voice.

"Master! How am I inferior to him!"

"Tomorrow I will become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and control the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people! I am the most powerful person in the world."

"Why... why do you insist on me bringing him to you?"

Zhu Youjian asked unwillingly, his voice filled with deep anger.

Angry about why the other party looks down on me and is not even qualified to be its slave.

"because……"

Chudai smiled, stood up and walked out.

"You are really, really stupid!"

"remember!"

It dropped a sentence before leaving the room.

"After you become the emperor, bring Li Xin to me."

"Otherwise, I will kill you immediately."

After saying that, he drifted away. After taking only a few steps, he transformed into Zhu Youjian again and gradually disappeared.

"……Yes!"

Zhu Youjian looked at his other self and responded bitterly, unable to resist at all.

He understands that the other party can kill him at any time, and if he becomes the Ming Emperor himself, no one will be able to detect it.

But Zhu Youjian also understood.

The other party's ambition is not here, but in the whole world.

Ming dynasty?

It's so small.

After it completely disappeared, Zhu Youjian stood up in pain.

He clenched his fists and kept thinking about what he just said in his mind.

You are really, really stupid!

madness?

This made Zhu Youjian extremely angry and distorted.

Where am I stupid, where am I not qualified!

I will soon become the lord of this world, the most powerful person in the world. Isn’t that enough to prove how smart I am?

This kind of humiliation reminded Zhu Youjian of the past.

That was the first year of Taichang and the forty-eighth year of Wanli.

That year, he was nine years old and his elder brother Zhu Youxiao was sixteen years old.

Within two months, the two brothers experienced the successive deaths of their grandfather and father, and were in panic in the East Palace.

One day, a large group of people gathered around his brother Zhu Youxiao who was about to leave the East Palace.

Zhu Youjian panicked when he saw it. He stepped forward and grabbed his brother's sleeves, crying.

"Brother, you...where are you going?"

The elder brother turned around and smiled: "Brother is going to be the emperor. My brother, please stay alive. I'm afraid I won't be able to care about you in the future."

With that said, my brother was about to leave again.

Zhu Youjian was even more panicked: "Brother! Do you want to be the emperor too? Are you going to die too? No, brother, don't go. Let your brother die on your behalf. I don't want you to die, and I don't want you to surrender to me." Like my father and grandfather, they died in front of me..."

"Oh, you want to be the emperor?"

My brother grinned.

Not only was he laughing, but the ministers and eunuchs around him were also laughing wantonly.

Everyone did not hide the contempt in their eyes, which made Zhu Youjian unforgettable.

Are you worthy of being an emperor?

Can you also be an emperor?

The elder brother laughed for a while and took the initiative to help his younger brother.

"Haha, okay, okay, my brother!"

"Brother, I will be the emperor for a few years, and then you will be the emperor, okay?"

After saying that, he touched his brother's hair affectionately, broke away and strode away.

In the entire east palace, only Zhu Youjian's lonely figure remained, staring at his brother's back.

Seven years passed in a flash.

Zhu Youjian also became a heroic sixteen-year-old boy.

He stood under the scorching sun, looked in the direction of the palace, and murmured to himself.

"Brother! Seven years have passed!"

"I should be the emperor, right?"

I do not know how long it has been.

There was a commotion in the palace.

Someone quickly rushed to Zhu Youjian and knelt down.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

The other person's face was filled with excitement and ecstasy.

"There's news from Xiyuan!"
